Chapter 2101 Kong Ming, are you crazy?


    In Dahan, even though human activities have expanded to a certain extent, the environment in many places is still full of vegetation, and so much vegetation means that once Liao Hua and others enter the forest, it will be difficult for Cao Jun to track them down.


    This is a headache for almost all armies, so since the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period, there has been a warning of "no pursuit of the forest".


    The woods of the big man are really the kind that block out the sky and the sun. If you don''t understand some mountain forest skills, you will be able to discern the direction, and you will lose your way if you go around twice. It''s like Erdao Scar following Liao Hua, now he has completely lost his direction. At first he could still follow the imprints of Liao Hua and others, but after a while he found that he seemed to have returned to the place he had walked before, and the imprints became two, four directions, like one The big "X" made him completely unable to tell which side was the correct direction.


    "It''s over..." Erdao Scar stood there for a while, lowering his head to try his best to identify the imprint, but after a while, he still couldn''t recognize which road was the direction he came from in the light and shadow cast by the dense bushes. That one was the direction to go. After looking at it for a while, I felt dizzy and exhausted. I couldn''t help but sat down, feeling a sudden sadness in my heart.


    Then he discovered that the sadness was not only in his heart, but also on his neck...


    "do not move! Lao Tzu''s hands are easy to shake! 』


    Just when Er Dao Scar was in a trance, a low shout sounded in his ears suddenly, and then a sharp short blade was pressed against his neck, the sharp blade was piercingly cold, as if it had been pierced into a bone , creepy. Then someone reached out and took his saber from the side, and at some point in the grass and trees, there were a few more figures, like apes moving dexterously, and then gathered around.


    『Hehe, this kid is brave enough...』


    『Let me see, it’s really long...』


    『Tsk tsk, what a talent! 』


    『It’s not bad at all, it’s more or less a head...』


    "do not! Me, I want to vote for Hussars! Er Dao Scar didn''t resist at all, and didn''t dare to move rashly. He just looked around as hard as he could, and shouted as hard as he could, "I saw you when I was leading the team in the mountains yesterday...I want to vote for the hussars!" 』


    "Ok? 』Liao Hua stretched out his hand as a gesture.


    『Look, there is no one behind...just this kid...』Someone checked along the direction Er Dao Scar came from, walked over and said to Liao Hua.


    Liao Hua tilted his head, "Just this one? Hehe, it''s kind of interesting...」


    Liao Hua turned to Er Dao Scar, looked him up and down, "Did you see us yesterday? So...you are the one leading the team? Hmm...why? 』Liao Hua asked why, one said that since he found out why he didn''t report it, and the other asked Er Dao Scar why he came to join the hussars.


    Er Daoba said: "I am from Xuzhou!" My home...I want to kill Cao thief! But I was in the Cao army, and I never saw the Cao thief...I have been in the Cao army for two years, and I have no chance after all...』


    Liao Hua stared at Er Dao Scar. After a while, he didn''t see his eyes avoiding, so he smiled, waved his hand, and signaled his subordinates to put down the knife, "So...you think you can use us to avenge you? 』


    "Yes or no! I want to avenge myself! Erdao Ba growled subconsciously, but quickly lowered his head, "Yes...I want to say...I...I don''t know..."


    Liao Hua was silent for a moment, nodded, and said: "I''ll let someone keep your knife first, and return it to you when it reaches the ground. If you really want to join the hussars, we welcome it. If you have evil intentions, hehe, be careful." dog life! 』


    Erdao Scar nodded again and again, and Liao Hua didn''t bother to listen to what he had to say. After reconfirming that no one followed this guy, and found no hidden signs, he led the people out of the forest, and then Going around to an inlet upstream, pulled out some rafts from the reeds, and then groped in the muddy water for a long time, pulled two or three ropes, and began to cross the Han River.


    If Cao Jun still had ships patrolling, then Liao Hua and the others could only sneak across at night. But now, Cao Jun is too busy to take care of himself, and most of the warships have been destroyed. People naturally crossed the Han River in the daytime, and then after a period of trekking, when dusk fell, they were hoisted into the city from the north of Fancheng.


    Cao Jun remained silent all day. Well, it can''t be said that there was no movement at all. Cao Jun was just cleaning up the mess in the camp and sorting out the equipment and supplies, so naturally he didn''t care about the attack on Fancheng...


    On the wall of Fancheng, Xu Yu and Zhuge were looking at the Cao Jun camp in the distance.


    『Will Cao Jun retreat? 』Xu Yu asked as he pulled the battlements and looked into the distance.


    Zhuge Liang shook his head and said: "How can the Cao thief retreat lightly..." On the one hand, some people will not die until they reach the Yellow River. On the other hand, Cao Jun has no way to retreat now.


    Xiahou Dun chose to continue to resist, and Zhuge Liang could guess it to some extent. After all, Fancheng was so important that Cao Jun had no choice but to retreat. Perhaps in the view of Cao Jun, Fancheng is still short of soldiers. Even though Cao Jun''s southern camp was attacked and some luggage and ships were burned, the northern camp where most of Cao Jun''s soldiers were located was basically not damaged. Of course, he was not very reconciled. Withdraw troops here.


    『But…』 Just as he was about to say something, he heard footsteps coming, Zhuge Liang turned his head and smiled and said, 『Yuan Jian is here, this fire is burning very well! 』


    Liao Hua, who cleaned up, ate and drank a little bit, laughed a few times, said a few words of humility, and then praised Xu Yu and Zhuge Liang in turn, and the city was full of laughter for a while. The three of them were obviously in a good mood, which naturally affected the ordinary soldiers around them. Even when they were on duty, they were more or less smiling. Although the threat of Cao Jun is still in front of them, these soldiers did not feel as much pressure as before, and some even felt that their two or three thousand people could not only defend the city, but even defeat Cao Jun.


    Victory always brings new hope.


    People always need hope. Just like Er Dao Scar, he also felt that if the Hussars could defeat Cao Jun''s soldiers, they would naturally have more hope of revenge, at least better than suffering in Cao Ying.


    Speaking of which, this is also the first time that Liao Hua and others encountered Cao Jun soldiers who came to him to surrender. They said that they had no interest at all, which was naturally a lie.


    『Who is your surname, and where is your place of origin? ’Zhuge Liang looked at Erdao Scar and asked.


    Er Dao Scar, under the watchful eyes of everyone, said respectfully: "I was originally from Erxuzhuang, Tancheng, Langya... I was originally surnamed Xu, and my name... is not worth mentioning..."


    Not enough to mention?


    Zhuge Liang''s eyes moved, and he smiled, "Tancheng? Second Xuzhuang? ’ Then he paused for a while, ‘Have you ever been to Tancheng? Are you familiar with Tancheng? Is there a Wangshan Pavilion in the high mountain southwest of Erxuzhuang? 』


    Er Dao Scar nodded, then shook his head and said: "I''ve been to Tancheng several times, so I''m familiar with it, but I can''t say it... But Wangshan Pavilion, I''ve never heard of it..."


    Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "That''s a bad memory...The strong man wants to abandon the dark and turn to the bright, we naturally welcome..." Zhuge Liang smiled and didn''t finish speaking, but everyone could understand the meaning. After a few words of reassurance, he asked some questions. Regarding the specific situation of Cao Ying, the two scars have one thing to say, and they all have fluent answers.


    Zhuge Liang had almost finished his question, then looked at Liao Hua and Xu Yu, they both shook their heads slightly, and let Er Dao Scar go down to rest first, of course they were still "accompanied", it was not considered house arrest, but just a precautionary measure. Those who are willing to surrender to the hussars are naturally welcome, but they must be screened.


    『This person’s background is a bit concealed...but it’s okay...'' Seeing Er Dao Scar leave, Zhuge Liang laughed twice, and explained to Liao Hua and Xu Yu.


    It''s very simple. It''s difficult for ordinary people to go out of their hometowns to wander around. Those who can go to surrounding counties are often the children of noble families and local gentry, and these people can''t be called "low names". As for "Wangshan Pavilion", Zhuge Liang doesn''t know if there are any, but Tancheng is close to the sea, what other mountains can be seen? What mountains can I see? Looking at the sea is almost the same.


    Combined with the situation of Cao Ying later, it means that this person has concealed his own life experience, but he has nothing to hide about Cao Jun''s situation.


    『In this way,』 Xu Yu frowned and said, 『This person deliberately concealed it, with ulterior motives? 』


    Zhuge Liang shook his head and said: "It''s not that... probably there are some unspeakable secrets... If you really want to vote, the origin of the name is secondary..."


    Big man these days, let alone others, didn’t Xu Shu hide his name and change a single blessing back then? And Tai Shici was also wanted by the local and fled to Liaodong? So what you have done in the past is actually not the point, but the behavior of "surrender" is the point of attention.


    Zhuge Liang hated Cao Cao, but he didn''t have much ill feeling towards Cao Cao''s ordinary soldiers. Even if Zhuge Liang knew that some of these people had murdered and set fire to villages and exterminated villages in Xuzhou or other places, Zhuge Liang would not hold grudges against these people because most of the time these soldiers were just acting as minions...


    It’s like a murderer uses a knife and a gun, and the one who pays for his life is the murderer. Who would let a knife and a gun pay for his life? Tigers, hungry wolves, and ferocious beasts devour human flesh and blood, and who would attribute the crime of cannibalism to the claws or teeth of these beasts?


    Er Dao Scar refused to say his name, perhaps because he was ashamed of his predecessors and refused to use his name. After all, Cao Cao not only killed people in Xuzhou, but also dug a lot of graves. Of course, the graves of Yanzhou and Heluo were also scraped; It may be that he has committed some crime, and then he cannot mention his name, but under the law of the Han Dynasty, it is not impossible to make up for the crime. This is not a serious problem.


    So Er Dao Scar surrendered, Zhuge Liang did not deliberately make things difficult because of his background in Cao Bing, but thought about how to use this matter to make some articles. Of course, but it is unforgivable if you say that you pretend to surrender and make trouble secretly...


    However, this article on defection will be left for the follow-up, and we still have to face the next Cao Jun attack.


    Cao Jun is currently repairing, and I believe that he will launch an attack soon, and because Cao Jun has lost the convenience of supply transportation, he will inevitably choose a sharper and fiercer method to attack Fancheng, and will not be as rigid as before, leaving room for energy . Under such circumstances, there will naturally be a large number of casualties.


    This kind of casualty is for both sides, and Zhuge Liang feels that he doesn''t want this kind of loss. So Zhuge Liang wanted to find another way, but when he said the next step, both Xu Yu and Liao Hua couldn''t accept it.


    Zhuge Liang smiled slightly, but there was some loneliness and loneliness in the smile.


    Lonely and lonely are twin brothers, they often come inexplicably and go away quietly. Under Fei Qian''s tent, Zhuge Liang was considered a member of the Jingxiang Sect. After all, he was a student of Duke Pang De, and he also came out of the Lushan wooden house with Pang Tong. However, in Zhuge Liang''s heart, he still remembered that he was from Langya, Xuzhou. This feeling sometimes comes inexplicably, even in a feast full of people, it will come uninvited.


    And a person, if he is lonely and lonely for a long time, his heart will be cold.


    After the heart is cold, even the eyes will gradually become cold. Even if there is a smile on the face, in the busy city, I feel that I am the only one in the world. Zhuge Liang doesn''t like this kind of feeling very much. Whenever he feels lonely, he will close his reaction to the outside world, shut himself in his heart, and carefully endure and taste this kind of loneliness that can make people crazy. Often at this time, Zhuge Liang is the calmest and most sober. In the lonely world, he is the only one who can rely on himself, until he meets Hussar General Fei Qian...


    During the time in Chang''an, Zhuge Liang had a special sense of identity with some of the concepts of General Hussars, and even this sense of identity made Zhuge Liang feel that he was not so alone to a certain extent.


    Because he suffered mental trauma when he was a child, Zhuge Liang had some sequelae to a certain extent, such as insomnia, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder and so on. It''s just that people in the Han Dynasty didn''t understand these so-called mental illnesses, and no one went to treat Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang could only rely on himself to repair them a little bit. But from some details in history, it can be seen that Zhuge Liang''s forced Symptoms are more serious, and insomnia is also common. As for depression, there may be some...


    In other words, Zhuge Liang''s dedication to greatness in history, in the final analysis, is likely to be caused by Cao Cao''s massacre of Xuzhou.


    Because of these problems, Zhuge Liang thinks more than ordinary gentry children. He begins to think about who the so-called "people" are, and he even thinks about who he is, who he really is, and so on. When you start thinking, it will often make people more and more collapsed.


    Fortunately, Zhuge Liang in history met Pang Degong, and later met Liu Bei...


    During the period of time when Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei slept together like fish and water, Zhuge Liang discovered that Liu Bei was the only one among the princes in the world who valued the people, and the only one who stood up to the so-called King Jing of Zhongshan. In his bones, he is a knight-errant monarch, so Zhuge Liang dedicated everything without hesitation.


    But, unfortunately, Liu Bei also changed his taste in the end.


    In Baidi City, Liu Bei looked at Zhuge Liang, and Zhuge Liang looked at Liu Bei, just like looking at himself in the mirror. Before he died, what Liu Bei said might be a temptation, a threat, an entrustment, or...


    And even more fortunately, the current Zhuge Liang met Fei Qian.


    After meeting Fei Qian, Zhuge Liang realized that many of his original ideas seemed narrow compared to those of Hu Qi!


    Before entering the Guanzhong, Zhuge Liang originally believed that "min" was the people of the great Han, the common people of all the great Han, not just the children of the gentry, and this concept was not agreed by many gentry children. Most of the children of the gentry think that the so-called "people" are only the children of the gentry. As for the common people at the grassroots level, they don''t even have a "name". How can they be called "people"?


    Just like many court officials and local officials, they often say that they want to "listen to the voice of the people", but in fact, many people can''t make any sound. They are dumb because they have no channel to speak. They are illiterate, because they don''t understand all kinds of regulations and norms, so whose voice is the so-called "people''s voice"?


    This malady of the feudal dynasty has lasted for thousands of years, and even affected later generations. It is like "administrative review" in some places for ten and a half months, and there is no news for a month or two. Asking is just going through the process, and the media Once exposed, the process is over the next day...


    Fei Qian''s concept of the people is wider than Zhuge Liang''s, even including the world! Even those Hu people who are willing to wear Hanfu, speak Chinese and learn Chinese!


    At the same time, Fei Qian paid the highest attention to ordinary people among Zhuge Liang. Anyway, besides Fei Qian, Zhuge Liang has never seen any family of princes who would specially set up workshops in order to improve the tools used by the people for craftsmen. Research…


    Before Fei Qian, the so-called agricultural tools were not all accidentally researched by a certain craftsman, and then popularized and used? Why is there a monarch who will take the initiative to let people study these things?


    Corresponding to the vast "people", Fei Qian''s love for soldiers is also the highest among all the princes. This point is enough to explain from the armor on the soldiers. Feiqian''s "Fei Qian" is famous even in the affluent Jizhou, Yuzhou and other places.


    Soldiers are no longer insignificant consumables. They are not just a few farmers who can be filled with a few knives and guns. It is precisely these elite soldiers who are proficient in combat skills, high in morale, strong in will, and prohibitive. Zhuge Liang''s previous strategy ability Successful implementation.


    Otherwise, don’t say anything about cooperation. Just because Liao Hua went to hide in the south bank, basically no one finds it difficult or impossible for the soldiers under Fei Qian’s command, but what if the soldiers of other princes...


    Therefore, under the influence of Hussar General Fei Qian''s concept of "people" and "soldiers", it is not impossible for Zhuge Liang to continue fighting to the death in Fancheng and Xiahoudun, but even if he wins in the end, Not to mention one-for-five, even one-for-ten, Zhuge Liang felt that it seemed to be a bit of a loss. So Zhuge Liang felt that he could make another wave, but when he finished talking about the strategy, Xu Yu and Liao Hua almost jumped up, "What? 』


    『Kong Ming, are you crazy? 』
